Offensive posts by North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson have been faraway from the pornographic web site Nude Africa on Thursday, hours after a CNN KFile investigation revealed a collection of inflammatory feedback posted on the discussion board by the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina.
It’s unclear whether or not the feedback have been eliminated by Robinson or Nude Africa directors. Neither the Robinson marketing campaign nor Nude Africa responded to inquiries from CNN.
Robinson denies making the feedback, which have been made between 2008 and 2012 – predating his entry into politics and present tenure as lieutenant governor – and stand counter to his public stances on points akin to abortion and transgender rights.
Robinson listed his full identify on his profile for Nude Africa, a pornographic web site that features a message board, in addition to an e mail tackle he used on quite a few web sites throughout the web for many years.
Many gratuitously sexual and lewd in nature, the feedback have been made beneath the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used continuously on-line. CNN was capable of establish the username as Robinson by matching a litany of biographical particulars and a shared e mail tackle between the 2.
Strain mounted on Robinson, who’s at present in a aggressive race towards Democrat Josh Stein to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, to exit the race following the revelations that he’d referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed assist for reinstating slavery.
The deadline beneath state legislation for a candidate to take away his identify from the poll was Thursday, with the state’s first absentee ballots set to be mailed out Friday.
